Consider this the first TEAM gathering where the gays came early. Like congregants during an evening Mass, the crowd began streaming into Dulo at 7 P.M. all to pay their Ru-spects at our screening party of Drag Race All-Stars 3. Before nine, the bar was packed and nearly everyone had a Death Drop, the night’s special Absolut cocktail, in their hand. Despite the open bar for early attendees, an ice breaker was unnecessary. As the goddess Ru said, we get to choose our family, and judging from how the audience looked like one tight-knit brood, the people had definitely chosen. (Okay, minus the part where everyone started making out with each other later in the night.)

After hosts Victor Platon, TEAM’s Editor at Large, and Superstarlet revved the room, cheers and waving finger snaps ripped across Dulo as the onscreen queens strutted into the workroom. Actually, cheers and waving finger snaps could be seen and heard during pretty much any part of AS3’s first episode. But our favorite show of enthusiasm came from the attendees who arrived in drag for our Best in Drag contest, some of which lip-synced for the prize.

Based on how dearly devoted the crowd is to this show, we can expect our Gay per View screenings at Dulo to be a holy homo habit.

Of course, there’s nothing like exercising some newfound closeness over one of our gay passions, much more on the dance floor. Like the closing runway dance sequence that punctuated old Drag Race episodes, everyone came together to sashay and shimmy to Boykillsrobot’s beats. Based on how dearly devoted the crowd is to this show, we can expect our Gay per View screenings at Dulo to be a holy homo habit. Halleloo! Gaymen! We’ll see you this Friday, bitches!

Hey, queer reader or ally.

The facts are as obvious as Manny Pacquiao’s homophobia: in order to run a decent website that our queer tastes deserve, your favorite gay Asian publication could use a real TEAM effort from its readers.\

If you’d like to see more of TEAM, we hope you can take the time to help your homos out.

About Team

TEAM tackles how gay Filipino men relate their identity, from fuckups to fantasies, to where to go for music you can actually dance to. We may not have proper rights in our country but we’re claiming some authority by getting our words and ideas on page. And though we lack public places to convene, an open publication (and wide-open digital space) is a good place to start.
